I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry.

Mobile Photography – Saturday Poetry – ‘They Flew From Me’ by Sir Thomas Wyatt
I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry. Each Saturday I will publish a poem and I will also try to link a mobile photography image, that has been uploaded to our Instagram hashtag #theappwhisperer during the week. Today, I am publising ‘They Flew From Me’ by Sir Thomas Wyatt. The story of love’s betrayal is obliquely told, charged with pain, yet it speaks straight to us across 500 years. There is a mystery here too. Is Anne Boleyn the woman in the loose gown, who catches the poet in her arms “long and small”? Thomas Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower for alleged adultery with her, and…

Mobile Photography – Saturday Poetry – ‘Dream Song 100’ by John Berryman
I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry. Each Saturday I will publish a poem and I will also try to link a mobile photography image, that has been uploaded to our Instagram hashtag #theappwhisperer during the week. Today, I am publising “Dream Song 100″ by John Berryman, he would have been 101 this year, had he lived. One of the things most people know about him is that he did not. He killed himself at 57 – after a lifetime of chaos, alcoholism, mental illness and extremely hard work. Have you watched someone dying from alcoholism? I can’t express how hard it is... Berryman’s only novel was…

Mobile Photography – Saturday Poetry – “The Silent Lover” by Walter Raleigh
I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry. Each Saturday I will publish a poem and I will also try to link a mobile photography image, that has been uploaded to our Instagram hashtag #theappwhisperer. Today I am publising “The Silent Lover” by Walter Raleigh. To be in love and to say nothing about it – this seems to me the most elegant (and perhaps the only sensible) form of romantic attachment. Walter Raleigh’s “The Silent Lover” keeps its own counsel, eloquently. Source: The Oxford Book of English Verse. Arthur Quiller-Couch, ed. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1919. 102-103. I have matched @carolynoneillphoto‘s image “I have loved you for a…
